Welcome to Your Life

by Roland Orzabal

Description

In this deeply personal memoir, the co-founder and primary songwriter of Tears for Fears traces his journey from the New Wave scene in Bath, England, to international stardom and the enduring cultural legacy of songs that defined a generation. Roland Orzabal reflects on creative ambition, fame, mental health, addiction, the complicated evolution of his partnership with Curt Smith, and the devastating loss that reshaped his life. Blending music history with reflections on identity, love, faith, grief, and recovery, he uses astrology and vivid, lyrical storytelling to explore the forces that have guided both his art and his personal transformation. The result is an intimate portrait of resilience—and of the healing power of creativity, family, and music.
